AIM8IEM/AIM8Q can only be equipped with standard battery pack with Getac, AIM-BAT-8, 4900mAH Polymer Lithium Ion Battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. Battery Charge Notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is more efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0C to 40C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. Storage and Safety Notice Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to the buildup of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -10C to 60C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store AIM8IEM/AIM8Q within normal room temperature ranges.T-W101 User Manual 8 WEEE EN Following information is only for EU-member states:

Symptoms, photo or video if available. 5.4 ENERGY STAR An ENERGY STAR qualified computer delivers substantial savings over a conventional computer. Desktop, integrated desktop, and notebook (laptop) computers, workstations, small-scale servers, and thin clients are all eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR, and those that do are now more efficient than ever. It is an honor for Advantech to provide you such products. What is ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program was established by EPA in 1992, under the authority of the Clean Air Act Section 103(g). Section103(g) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to "conduct a basic engineering research and technology program to develop, evaluate, and demonstrate nonregulatory strategies and technologies for reducing air pollution."
In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. Section 131 of the Act amends Section 324 (42 USC 6294) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and
"established at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency a voluntary program to identify and promote energyefficient products and buildings in order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce pollution through voluntary labeling of or other forms of communication about products and buildings that meet the highest energy efficiency standards."
